US Amazon lists Deathwatch release date 7th September and "Into the Storm" 12th October.

**H.B.M.C.**

Which is wrong.

**Father Gabe**

Wow. $200.00 smackers. I was figuring 150, decisions, decisions. A lot of detail in it. Since I already have a copy of the game, it would be purely for showing off. Ugh. What do i DO?

Yikes!

A bit pricier that the DH and RT special editions.

At that price, I'm going to have to pass, which is sad indeed, but them's the breaks!

I'll buy your copy if you post it to me tomorrow.

It's also a first edition print, so there's bound to be errata.

On the other hand, it's printed on parchment style paper, heavy duty and expensive stuff. But a book printed on such is going to last a looooooong time, even under the kind of constant flipping through that gamers do.

If I had disposable income, I'd get it, this is coming from someone who normally wouldn't get collector's editions even if I had the money. But, I also love a good print.

**BrookM**

I am a total whore for special editions, but I think I'll be killed in a very gruesome way by the better half if I were to get this.

**H.B.M.C.**

I've already paid for the standard one, and I won't buy two.

They kind of made it easy for us to decide, actually...

**Death By Monkeys**

Man, I'm not even that interested in playing Deathwatch, but I want to get a copy of that collector's edition! Wow!

$200 is a bit ridiculous though.

Wasn't the collector's edition of RT $130US?

I just pre-ordered the standard edition from Amazon for $33US, with free shipping!

**Father Gabe**

I dont mind now to have to copies, just gotta think is the special edition worth the money? What will I do with it? Gaze upon it and channel the power of the Emperor or glare at it as a big gaping hole in my wallet. It's just so cool looking....arrrrrggh.

The game btw is good, I think with all the combat options iin it will cause some initial confusion but I think it might enhance role playing different chapters together, learning new tricks, etc.

**Alpharius**

I did!

Amazon sent me a $5 Use Anywhere Coupon, so guess what I used it for?

porn?

or maybe deathwatch.

**Alpharius**

To the best of my knowledge, there ain't none of that on Amazon.

And even if there was, it was still going for Deathwatch!

Now I just need to find a group in my area...

They just added a note to the top of their collector's edition mini page

We have begun accepting orders for the Deathwatch Collector's Edition, and your credit card will be charged in full at the time of purchase. Please understand that we expect to begin shipping this product 8 - 10 weeks after the release of the regular edition Deathwatch Core Rulebook, which should start shipping in the next few weeks.

**H.B.M.C.**

Well that's better than nothing. Thanks Foda.

I picked up DW and the GM Kit at Gen Con a few weeks back and just finished my first read through. I like it...really, really like it. It totally has a controlled superhero RPG feel to it.

Not sure if my RPG group will have much interest in it, but they all love Champions, so maybe I can sell them on it via that angle.

I am huge sucker for collector's editions, but I just can't do the FFG RPG ones. Too expensive and then at that point they are basically useless, because I'll be damned if I am putting a $200 book on a table with soda spilling fools!

I bought the War of the Ring collectors edition because I am sucker for board games and Tolkien. I seriously don't ever see myself using it more than once.

Really looking forward to some of the upcoming products (as well as the hardback editions of WFRPG 3rd Edition).

Greetings, Deathwatch fans!

The Deathwatch Core Rulebook premiered at Gen Con 2010 on August 5! I was definitely not prepared for the massive response from the 40K RPG fans... it was a huge ball of amazing and awesome rolled into one. There was a huge 16-foot-tall image of a Space Marine from the book highlighting where to go to find out more about the Deathwatch RPG, and lines for the book were full of some really excited fans anticipating taking on the role of a Space Marine in an RPG for the first time!

I spoke to quite a few fans at the Deathwatch seminars throughout the con, ably aided by Deathwatch author Andrea Gausman. Andrea’s presence was very helpful, not only because she worked on the core rulebook, but she is also the author of the Deathwatch GM’s Kit and the forthcoming The Emperor Protects adventure book. Unveiling the game, answering questions from fans, and chatting about 40K was an extremely fun and inspiring experience, and after returning from Gen Con I am motivated more than ever to expand the Deathwatch line with plenty of new books!

The entire RPG department here at Fantasy Flight Games (including myself, Jay Little, Dan Clark, Mack Martin, and Sam Stewart) really enjoyed meeting our fans and discussing the worlds and characters these games bring to life. I’d like to extend a special thanks to Ashley & Bill (seen in the picture at right), who were first in line for Deathwatch (and for Rogue Trader last year, as well!) and to all the great fans attending Gen Con 2010.

As a special bonus, this week I’m pleased to present the downloadable version of the Deathwatch character sheet plus the Squad/Solo mode sheet. These resources can also be found on the Deathwatch Support Page to make your games of Deathwatch easier!

Awesome - thanks for the update red!

When I looked on the support page they were not there.

I just Ordered the Collectors edition... My girlfriend of all people was nagging me about "you aren't ordering it WHY?... your birthday IS later this month... you should get it for yourself" Notice though she said get it for yourself, not let me get it for you or go in half... can't win em all I guess.

Sad part though is I saw the collector's edition a day after I put in my order for a copy form Amazon. Then again I doubt I would want to drag the CE around unless it was something special going on for gaming... so it all works out.

**Kroothawk**

Just wanted to say that tomorrow I will get my copy of "Into the Storm", so if it is available in Germany, others will have it soon as well.
"Deathwatch" is not yet available here.

**BrookM**

How did you get yours? Through your FLGS?

**Kroothawk**

Yes, I hold it in my hands now

Amazon customers have to wait till 28th September

**Kanluwen**

Huh. Funny, because it says I'll have my copy from Amazon by September 14th(at the latest).

Only a 14 day difference
